June 1921

Most Esteemed and Dear
Vladimir Ilyich,

Kamo.
Remind [me]

During the Party Conference of the Russian Communist Party, I informed You of my desire to have a conversation with You about my new, stunning plans. This conversation could take place during Your walk or rest and would not tire You in the slightest. Perhaps You will find that my considerations turn out to be very valuable and their implementation very important for the present moment, or else You will find them very amusing and, in the way that You are able to do, laugh heartily about them.

I would like You to hear me out before the beginning, or at the beginning of the Comintern congress.

Devoted to You,
Kamo
